Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a circuit breaker that has an overcurrent protection function and a ground fault protection function and is applicable to a low voltage distribution system.
- As known in this field, circuit breakers applied to a low voltage distribution system are classified into molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) having an overcurrent protection function and earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCB) having an overcurrent protection function and an earth fault protection function.
The molded case circuit breaker has the structure in which functional components, such as a main circuit contact, a switching mechanism, an operation handle, and an overcurrent tripping device are provided in a breaker main case (molded resin case). Meanwhile, the earth leakage circuit breaker has the structure including a zero current transformer that detects an unbalanced current of a main circuit using the main circuit as a primary conductor, an earth leakage detecting circuit (an electronic circuit including an IC) that detects the occurrence of an earth fault from the secondary output level of the zero current transformer, and a trip coil unit that receives an output signal of the earth leakage detecting circuit and trips the switching mechanism of the breaker, in addition to the same functional components for overcurrent protection as those in the molded case circuit breaker. In addition, as power for controlling the earth leakage detecting circuit, an interphase voltage of the main circuit is generally rectified and supplied to the earth leakage detecting circuit. - In addition, the main stream of the domestically-produced general-purpose products of the molded case circuit breaker and the earth leakage circuit breaker is the structure in which the molded case circuit breaker and the earth leakage circuit breaker are provided in main cases with the same size and common components having a protection function are provided in the main cases, in order to improve user convenience.
In the molded case circuit breaker and the earth leakage circuit breaker, the interphase dielectric strength of the main circuit is defined as a standard. In the test, a test voltage (high voltage) is externally applied to measure the dielectric strength of the breaker, with the contact of the main circuit of the breaker being open. In this case, in the earth leakage circuit breaker, the earth leakage detecting circuit composed of an electronic circuit is connected to the control power supply circuit which is branched and connected to the main circuit. Therefore, in order to protect the earth leakage detecting circuit from the test voltage, it is necessary to disconnect the earth leakage detecting circuit from the main circuit during the withstand voltage test. In order to satisfy the requirements, an earth leakage circuit breaker has been proposed which additionally includes a switch (a switch for a dielectric test) for a withstand voltage test which is connected to the switching mechanism of the earth leakage circuit breaker, turns off the switch to disconnect the power supply circuit from the earth leakage detecting circuit during the withstand voltage test, forcibly mechanically trips the switching mechanism of the breaker in conjunction with the operation of the switch to turn off the main circuit contact, and restricts and maintains the breaker in the off state (for example, see Patent Document 1). - Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open (JP-A) No.
2007-317361 - However, for the circuit breaker used in the low voltage power distribution facility, generally, the user selects the molded case circuit breaker or the earth leakage circuit breaker according to conditions, such as the kind of power distribution facility and the kind of load used. However, when newly starting up the power distribution facility, generally, the user uses the earth leakage circuit breaker to check whether a leakage current (earth fault current) is generated from the power distribution circuit and the amount of leakage current and then switches the breaker to the molded case circuit breaker in order to prevent the operation of a load (for example, a motor) from stopping due to the trip of the breaker by a small leakage current. In addition, when the load used in the power distribution facility is changed, in some cases, the molded case circuit breaker, which has been used, is replaced with the earth leakage circuit breaker according to the kind of load.
- However, in the related art, the circuit breakers used in the low voltage distribution system are classified into two types, that is, the molded case circuit breakers and the earth leakage circuit breakers. However, a circuit breaker that enables the user to selectively use the overcurrent protection function and the ground fault protection is not disclosed. In
Patent Document 1, the switch for a dielectric test is incorporated into the power supply circuit that supplies power to the earth leakage detecting circuit. However, since the switch for a dielectric test is connected to the switching mechanism of the breaker, it is difficult to invalidate the earth leakage protection function and use the molded case circuit breaker.
Therefore, an object of the invention is to provide a new circuit breaker whose protection function is selectively changed by a simple operation such that the user can use the circuit breaker as a molded case circuit breaker or an earth leakage circuit breaker, if needed. - In order to achieve the object, according to an aspect of the invention, there is provided a circuit breaker that has an overcurrent protection function and an earth fault protection function and has a structure including a main circuit contact, a switching mechanism, an overcurrent tripping device, and an earth leakage tripping device including a zero current transformer and an earth leakage detecting circuit which are provided in a breaker main case. The circuit breaker includes a mode switch unit that turns on or off a contact in a power supply circuit supplying power from a main circuit to the earth leakage detecting circuit to selectively set the earth fault protection function to be "valid" or "invalid" (claim 1). The mode switch unit has the following detailed structure.
- (1) In the circuit breaker having the above-mentioned structure, the mode switch unit may include a switch body that is provided in the breaker main case and is connected to a feed circuit between the main circuit and the earth leakage detecting circuit and a push-button-type switching portion that turns on and off a switch through an actuator connected to an operation end of the switch body. In addition, an operation end of the push button of the switching portion is provided on a cover of the breaker main case so as to face the outside (claim 2).
- (2) In the item (1), the switch body may be an assembly of a switch case which is made of an insulating material and in which polarities are partitioned, a fixed electrode that has a pair of contacts separated from each other and is provided at a lower part of the switch case, a bridge-shaped movable contact that is provided so as to face the fixed electrode, and an operation rod that collectively holds the movable contacts of each polarity and extends to the upper side of the switch case. The switch body may be arranged in a space between the zero current transformer provided in the breaker main case and a side wall of the breaker main case (claim 3).
- (3) In the item (1), the actuator may be a tilting lever combined with an urging spring. The actuator may include a pivot shaft portion and lever arms extending from the pivot shaft portion to both sides. One of the lever arms may be connected to the operation rod of the switch body and the other lever arm may be arranged so as to face the leading end of the push button (claim 4). (4) In the item (1), the switching portion may be an assembly of a push button of a push/twist lock type and a cylindrical guide that is provided on the cover of the breaker main case so as to surround the push button and a return spring of the push button. On a circumferential surface of the cylindrical guide, provided is a vertical slit, to which a protrusion formed on the push button is fitted and which guides the push button in an ON/OFF direction, and further provided is an engaging step portion that extends from a lower end of the slit in a circumferential direction, is engaged with the protrusion, and locks and maintains the push button at a lock position (claim 5).
- According to the above-mentioned structure, it is possible to selectively set the earth fault protection function of the circuit breaker to the "valid" mode or the "invalid" mode only by operating the push button of the mode switch unit provided in the circuit breaker. In this way, the user temporarily changes the earth fault protection function of the circuit breaker to be "valid" in order to check whether a leakage current flows through a distribution circuit of an electric power distribution facility and then changes the earth fault protection function to be "invalid" such that the circuit breaker is used as the molded case circuit breaker. Alternatively, the user may return the "invalid" earth fault protection function of the circuit breaker that has been used as the molded case circuit breaker to the "valid" state such that the circuit breaker can be used as the earth leakage circuit breaker.

InFig. 2 ,reference numeral 12 indicates a breaker main case of the circuit breaker which is divided into acase 12a, acover 12b, and atop cover 12c. In the breakermain case 12, functional components, such as theswitching mechanism 3, theoperation panel 4, theovercurrent tripping device 5, the zerocurrent transformer 6, the earthleakage detecting circuit 7, thetrip coil unit 8,main circuit conductors 13 corresponding to the phases R, S, and T, an arc-extinguishing chamber 14, and atrip crossbar 15 that receives a mechanical output signal of thetrip coil unit 8 and trips theswitching mechanism 3, are arranged as shown inFig. 2 . - An assembly of the
mode switch unit 11 is provided in a space surrounded by an annular core of the zerocurrent transformer 6, the side wall of thecase 12a, and a U-shaped main circuit conductor (phase R) 13 which is fitted to the annular core of the zero current transformer. In addition, apush button 16 for turning on or off the switch body of themode switch unit 11 is attached to thecover 12b so as to face the mode switch unit and anoperation window 12c-1 corresponding to thepush button 16 is provided in thetop cover 12c. - Next, the detailed structure of the
mode switch unit 11 and thepush button 16 will be described with reference toFig. 3 . Themode switch unit 11 is an assembly of aswitch body 17, anactuator 18 connected to an operation end of theswitch body 17, and aunit case 19.
Theswitch body 17 includes a box-shaped switch case (molded resin case) 17a in which polarities are partitioned by partition walls as shown inFig. 4 , fixedelectrodes 17b of each polarity that have a pair of left and right contacts separated from each other and are incorporated into a lower part of theswitch case 17a, a bridge-shapedmovable contact 17c facing the fixedelectrodes 17b, and amovable contact holder 17d serving as an operation rod that collectively holds themovable contacts 17c of each polarity and has an operation end drawn out from theswitch case 17a to the upper side. A hook-shapedknob portion 17d-1 is formed at the leading end of thecontact holder 17d. - In the above-mentioned structure, when the
knob portion 17d-1 is pushed in the direction of an arrow A inFig. 4(a) , themovable contact 17c contacts the fixedelectrode 17b and the switch is turned on. When thecontact holder 17d is pulled up in the direction of an arrow B inFig. 4(b) , themovable contact 17c is separated from the fixedelectrode 17b and the switch is turned off.
As shown inFig. 3 , theswitch body 17 is fitted and attached to a switch supportingstep portion 19a that is provided at the middle position of theunit case 19.Reference numeral 20 indicates six lead lines that are connected to the fixedelectrodes 17b of theswitch body 17 and extend from theswitch case 17a.
An engagingconvex portion 19c is formed on the outer circumferential surface of theunit case 19. As shown inFig. 2 , the engagingconvex portion 19c is fitted to an engaginggroove 12a-1 that is formed by cutting out the upper edge of the side wall of thecase 12a, with themode switch unit 11 mounted on themain case 12 of the breaker. In this way, the unit case is disposed and maintained at a fixed position. - The
actuator 18 is a tilting level having ashaft portion 18a serving as a tiling fulcrum and leverarms spring 18d (twisted coil spring) is combined with theshaft portion 18a. Theshaft portion 18a is rotatably supported by a bearingportion 19b that is provided at the top of theunit case 19. In this way, theactuator 18 is assembled so as to be tiltable. Anengaging arm portion 18e to which theknob portion 17d-1 pulled out from theswitch body 17 is hooked is formed at the leading end of thelever arm 18b extending from theshaft portion 18a to the right side. In addition, thelever arm 18c extending from theshaft portion 18a to the left side faces the leading end of thepush button 16 provided in thecase cover 12b, which will be described below. The urgingspring 18d provided in theactuator 18 urges thelever arm 18b in the clockwise direction to push theswitch body 17 to an ON position in a free state of the actuator. - The
push button 16 is a push/twist lock button, is combined with a return spring 21 (compression coil spring), and is fitted to acylindrical guide 22 that is formed integrally with thecover 12b of themain case 12. At the fitting position, the leading end of thepush button 16 faces thelever arm 18c of theactuator 18.
In addition, a groove into which the tip of a screwdriver (tool) is inserted is formed at the head of thepush button 16. An engagingprotrusion 16a formed at the leading end of a shaft portion which extends from the top to the lower side is engaged with the leading end of thecylindrical guide 22. In this way, thepush button 16 is retained. Aguide protrusion 16b is formed on the circumferential surface of the top of thepush button 16, and a vertical guide slit 22a and anengaging step portion 22b extending from the end of theslit 22a in the circumferential direction are formed on the circumferential surface of thecylindrical guide 22 so as to correspond to theprotrusion 16b (seeFig. 3(b) ). In this way, thepush button 16 is guided in a pressing direction and thepush button 16 is locked and maintained at the pressing position by a push/twist operation. - Next, the operation and function of the
mode switch unit 11 and thepush button 16 will be described with reference toFigs. 5(a) and 5(b) . That is, in the initial state of the circuit breaker shipped from a manufacturer, as shown inFig. 5(a) , thepush button 16 is pressed to the upper side of thecylindrical guide 22 by the elastic force of thereturn spring 21. In this state, theactuator 18 of themode switch unit 11 is tilted in the clockwise direction by the elastic force of the urgingspring 18d (seeFig. 3 ) to push down themovable contact holder 17d (seeFig. 4 ) of theswitch body 17, thereby maintaining the contact in an ON state. In this way, themain circuit 1 and the earthleakage detecting circuit 7 shown inFig. 1 are connected to each other through thepower lines 9. The phase voltage of themain circuit 1 is converted into a DC voltage by the rectifyingcircuit 10 and is then supplied to the earthleakage detecting circuit 7. Therefore, in this state, the circuit breaker "validates" the earth fault protection function and serves as an earth leakage circuit breaker. - When a tool, such as a screwdriver, is used to push and twist the
push button 16 in the direction of the arrow A inFig. 5(b) , the leading end of thepush button 16 contacts and presses theactuator 18 of themode switch unit 11 to drive thelever arm 18c in the counterclockwise direction. In addition, theprotrusion 16b provided at the top of thepush button 16 is fitted to the engagingstep portion 22b formed in thecylindrical guide 22 and is then locked and maintained at the pressing position by the elastic force of thereturn spring 21. Theactuator 18 is pushed by thepush button 16 and is restricted and maintained at that position.
In this way, as shown inFig. 4(b) , when thecontact holder 17d is pulled up in the direction of the arrow B, the contact is turned off in theswitch body 17, and the circuit of thepower line 9 shown inFig. 1 is disconnected. As a result, the earthleakage detecting circuit 7 is disconnected from themain circuit 1 and the function of the earth leakage circuit breaker is removed. The circuit breaker "invalidates" the earth fault protection function and serves as a molded case circuit breaker. - In order to supply a main circuit voltage to the earth
leakage detecting circuit 7 to make the circuit breaker function as the earth leakage circuit breaker, thepush button 16 is twisted in a direction opposite to the above-mentioned direction outside the breaker case. Then, theprotrusion 16b of thepush button 16 is separated from the engagingstep portion 22b of thecylindrical guide 22 and is then fitted to theguide slit 22a. Then, thepush button 16 is pushed up by the elastic force of thereturn spring 21. Then, thelever arm 18c of theactuator 18 pushed by thepush button 16 is tilted in the clockwise direction by the elastic force of the urgingspring 18d and thelever arm 18b pushes themovable contact holder 17d of theswitch body 17. In this way, the switch returns to the ON state. As a result, the earthleakage detecting circuit 7 is receives the voltage from themain circuit 1 and the circuit breaker functions as the earth leakage circuit breaker. - As can be seen from the above description, it is possible to turn on or off the switch contact of the
mode switch unit 11 connected to the power supply circuit between themain circuit 1 and the earthleakage detecting circuit 7 shown inFig. 1 and set the earth fault protection function of the circuit breaker to be "valid" or "invalid", in cooperative association with the operation of pushing or releasing thepush button 16. In this way, the user can use the circuit breaker provided in a power distribution facility as the earth leakage circuit breaker or the molded case circuit breaker, if needed.
In addition, when the withstand voltage test (dielectric test) is performed for the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is used as the earth leakage circuit breaker, themode switch unit 11 is turned off to disconnect the earth leakage detecting circuit of the electronic circuit from the main circuit of the circuit breaker such that the earth leakage detecting circuit can be safely protected from a test voltage. - According to the invention, it is possible to provide a new circuit breaker whose protection function can be selectively switched by a simple operation and which can be used as a molded case circuit breaker or an earth leakage circuit breaker by the user, if needed.
